Shangril La – red granite of natural origin

Shangril La is an extraordinary and exotic natural granite quarried in the rich and ancient stone basins of South America (with renowned selections from Brazil) and also appreciated in Asian markets. Celebrated in contemporary architecture and high-end design for its expressive power and exceptional mechanical performance, it represents a stone material of great luxury, dynamism and visual impact.

Visually, it is characterized by an intense and dramatic background matrix in tones of ruby red, amaranth, brick and rust, furrowed and embellished with an overwhelming inlay of fluid veins, flaming and translucent crystals in tones of obsidian black, quartz grey, cream, gold and antique rose.

Technical characteristics of the Shangril-La

Geologically it is an intrusive/metamorphic magmatic rock (granite or quartzite) with a predominantly silicate composition (quartz, feldspars and micas). As a strictly silicate matrix material with no carbonate components, it does not react to food or household acids (such as lemon, vinegar, wine, juices or common detergents) and is not subject to acid attack opacification. It has a very high hardness (Mohs scale 6–7), exceptional resistance to abrasion, scratches and thermal shock, together with a very low liquid absorption rate.

Applications in design

– luxury kitchen tops and countertops: an excellent choice for kitchen tops, scenic islands, and bar counters thanks to their total resistance to food acids, nicks, and high temperatures.

– bookmatch compositions: the complex veined texture and fluid design of the material lend themselves magnificently to mirrored posing for the creation of accent walls with a strong scenographic impact.

– high-traffic flooring and siding: perfect for interior and exterior flooring, ventilated facades, steps, and wall siding in prestigious residences and luxury hotels.

– designer bathroom and vanity rooms: widely used for refined vanity tops, shower trays and scenic walls, combining an exotic aesthetic with maximum ease of cleaning and maintenance.
